Corgan, who’ll begin releasing the Tarot-influenced songs one at a time around Halloween, says the work “harkens back to the original psychedelic roots of The Smashing Pumpkins.” More at smashingpumpkins.com.

Wow, even Pitchfork treated this like more of a news item than this, and gave credit where it is due for the free release of Machina 2 back in 2000. If this were any other band, like Radiohead who only gave one song away for free recently yet it was still treated like the story of the year, it would be treated like some revolutionary tactic. Hey, maybe instead we can get more random posts about Beyonce, Rhianna or Jay Z, despite the fact that his new album is awful. That would be great, thanks.
shut up, steve.
Sorry pal, I can make all the ridiculous comments I want. So please, go back on to Pitchfork’s site so you can let them decide what good music is because you can’t make those kind of decisions on your own, and leave me the hell alone.
what did i tell you? that’s two strikes. don’t make me use your full name now. and if you must, please respond with something that’s at least somewhat grounded in reality.
The comment about this story not getting the attention it deserves compared to all the attention Radiohead got for releasing one free song is grounded in reality, in MY opinion. And the fact that he was ahead of his time in releasing free music over the internet but doesn’t get any respect for that now because everybody jumped on the Billy Corgan bandwagon is also grounded in reality, in MY opinion.
Excuse me, on the “I Hate Billy Corgan” bandwagon.
NO DUDE NO NO YOU SHUT UP
The Pupkins are great and all but Billy Corgan just isn’t what he used to be. Plus, Radiohead is arguably the band on the fucking planet. So don’t be an a-hole. This article wasn’t really about Radiohead at all. The reason it’s not as big of a deal as when Radiohead did it is because every-fuckin-body has done it by now. It was a brilliant idea and Radiohead did it first. You’re just upset because they are the superior band.
What a tool…Just write a few good songs…Cover that Marmalade one…
that dudes got ole gregg as his icon so i agree with him.
Billy may win my heart over with this concept.
Wow, Stereogum are dicks.
This could either be really good, or really bad. No middle ground.
Hmm… interesting. I might be ready to emerge from my self-imposed Pumpkins exile enough by then to actually bother downloading the songs with a view to listening to them in 10 years time… when I can stomach them again.
You are a wash and a has been Corgan…it’s OVER!!!
Radiohead actually gaveaway a ‘best of’ which had about 21 tracks if I remember correctly, on CNET’s Download.com, go check it out you freaks!hopefully if you are lucky it might still be there, if not your loss!
Connor Oberst also posted two full albumns, can’t remember which one’s , they might still be there available for free download.What a kind man.I love you connor
